Function: COTRANS Purpose: Transformation from grid coordinates to physical coordinates and vice versa. Category: PHYSICAL COORDINATES File: cotrans.c Author: K.G. Begeman Use: INTEGER COTRANS ( SET , Input character SUBSET , Input integer COORD1 , Input double precision array COORD2 , Output double precision array DIR ) Input integer COTRANS Returns: 0 transformation successful 1 unknown projection 2 unknown mode 3 CROTA2 = 90.0 for mode 1 and 2 4 CDELT1 and/or CDELT2 equal to zero 5 input sky system unknown 6 output sky system unknown 7 input and output sky system unknown 8 skypro error 9 unknown velocity system 10 rest frequency less than or equal to zero 11 crval equal to zero 12 cdelt equal to zero 13 no matching axis pair found 14 incompatible sky systems 15 cannot do epoch transformations SET Name of data set. SUBSET Subset coordinate word. COORD1 Array containing grid coordinates or physical coordinates in substructure defined by SUBSET. The number of coordinates must be equal to the dimension of SUBSET. COORD2 Array containing the corresponding physical coordinates or grid coordinates of the coordinates specified in COORD1 and by SUBSET. The units of the physical coordinates is converted to the units as defined by CUNIT and DUNIT in the set header. The number of coordinates returned in COORD2 can be obtained via NCOORDS (see NCOORDS.DC2). This number can be larger than the number of axes in the set because hidden axes coordinates are also returned. The order or coordinates returned in COORD2 is the axis order, so the coordinate of the first axis is in COORD2(1), the coordinate of the secoind axis is in COORD2(2) etc. DIR Direction of transformation: DIR == 0: physical coordinates -> grid coordinates DIR != 0: grid coordinates -> physical coordinates Related Docs: ncoords.dc2 Updates: Dec 19, 1989: KGB, Document created. Nov 22, 1991: KGB, Hidden axes implemented. Apr 9, 1992: KGB, Returns also hidden coordinates. May 18, 1992: KGB, Bug in looking for matching axes repaired. Nov 4, 1996: KGB, Epoch can be in single precision.
